Contemplative Life Bookstore

The Contemplative Life Bookstore is a virtual bookstore, based in the U.S., whose mission is to present the best of contemplative teachings. Contemplative Life Bookstore is the primary source for obtaining Fr. John's classic Silence and Stillness in Every Season. You will find all his teachings, including his classic Communitas series, and those of his successor Fr. Laurence Freeman, the present spiritual director of WCCM. You are able to browse contemplative authors and teachings from many other sources — classic editions and teachers from the past such as Bede Griffiths, The Cloud of Unknowing and Meister Eckhart as well as present-day teachers — Richard Rohr, OFM, and many others. CD editions of The John Main Seminar are also available. The seminar, a yearly event held since 1991 at a world destination, organized and led by WCCM's Fr. Laurence Freeman, brings together world teachers such as HH Dalai Lama, Fr. Thomas Keating, Huston Smith, William Johnston, Fr. Richard Rohr, Dr. Bernard McGinn and Jean Vanier.
